Budget deal may cut into Social Security
The Clinton Congress budget package will cut Social Security surpluses by 17 billion this year and more next year unless additional savings are found, the Congressional Budget Office said. The package totals about 390 billion dollars and pushes federal spending 32 billion above the year's target, with economists predicting a potentially better picture in January. House leaders claim the plan protects Social Security from being spent on other programs, while signaling possible corrections if upcoming updates show otherwise.
